Everything you need to know is right here.

Find out how these bird baths work.

Discover how to easily create harmony and attract wildlife to your yard.

A solar panel in the fountain's basin collects the sun's energy. A pump, usually in the base of fountain, connects to the panel and uses the energy to circulate the water.

The panel must be in direct sunlight or the fountain won't work.

When it's cloudy or dark outside, the water is still. But once day breaks or the clouds pass, the water automatically flows again.

To make the best choice possible, you should first decide where you'll use your fountain.

How To Choose A Birdbath Fountain

If you're decorating a shady area, it's important to choose a bird bath with a solar panel that isn't attached.

You'll position the panel where you're sure it will get sun all day long. And the fountain can go anywhere you like � sun or shade. I you're like me and enjoy changing your outdoor decor with the seasons, just mount the panels where you know the sun always shines.

During cooler months, your solar bird bath can sit in full sun. When the hot summer months arrive, you can move it to the shade.

On the other hand, a solar bird bath with an attached solar panel is a good choice only if you're decorating a space that gets sun all day long and you don't plan on moving it.

You'll just put the whole unit where you know the sun will shine all day and enjoy.

Both are very easy to find and easy to set up as well � so no worries.

If you're stumped for a solar bird bath fountain style, and you already have architectural elements in your yard like a pergola or gazebo, why choose a solar bird bath fountain that matches?

Solar Birdbath Fountain - Creating Harmony Is Simple

And interesting, too. When you first position the solar bird bath, the birds will seem totally uninterested.

But believe me, they notice. Especially if you're using a solar birdbath fountain. They're waiting to see what happens next.

Put some birdseed out daily and change the bird bath water on a regular basis.

Having a reliable source of clean, moving water and birdseed in your yard will go a long way towards establishing a harmonious and long-lasting relationship.

After a few days, you'll see the bravest birds begin to explore the bird bath.

And after a few weeks, they all start to feel right at home and your solar bird bath becomes the most popular place in the neighborhood.

Solar Garden Fountains -Choosing A Style

Probably the most common birdbath style you'll find has a basin that rests on a pedestal.

But you could also go with a suspended birdbath. These have 3 or 4 chains fastened to the basin's rim.

The chains come together at a single point at the opposite end where you can hang them on a hook or some other support. 

There's also a ground-level variety. Rather than being supported by a pedestal or suspended on chains, these are designed to rest on the ground.

Birds love any water that is clean and moving, so choosing a solar bird bath style is completely up to you. Just have fun with it. You cant go wrong.

Solar Powered Fountain Upgrades

Birds need to stay hydrated all year long, including winter when water in liquid form is sometimes harder to find.

Heated birdbaths, sometimes called a birdbath deicer, solve this problem.

A bird's sense of smell isn't great, but their eyesight and hearing are excellent.

With the landscape changing so dramatically during the winter months, the sight and sound of flowing water makes it easier for birds to find a water source.

Bird bath heaters keep the water from freezing throughout the cold winter months.

And the heating elements are detachable so they're easily removed when they're not needed.

Solar Birdbath Maintenance

Monitor the water level often, especially in summer when evaporation occurs more quickly.

And keep the fountain clean by periodically wiping it down and completely replacing the water.

There are also natural enzymes you can add to the water.

They help the water stay cleaner longer and also prevent algae and mineral build up.

Solar fountains are pretty rugged, but the solar panel can be damaged if left in freezing temperatures.

So you want to remove the panel and store it indoors just before winter sets in. It's an easy process that only takes a few minutes.
